Marie-France Brière's approach is based on the need to redefine certain parameters of sculptural work, exploring several avenues related to this evolving practice that involves rethinking actions and advocating new experiences that go beyond an object's purpose. Through a series of treatments and arrangements, she develops structures that reorganize inside and outside, the surface and its lining, with a view to increasing the creative tensions already amplified by material contrasts.

For this Autorésidences residency project, the artist seeks to echo the isolation context of the confinement in an unprecedented face-to-face encounter with the limits of her own constructions. How can a resilient thought be coaxed out of this austere solitude, this invisible weight that is rocking the whole world? Deviation and reconstitution of the sculptural object are the result of a duplication of the mineral immersed in the Anthropocene. Marie-France Brière uses selected materials to create compositions that ponder the disturbances of a landscape ecology, between interaction and the transformative process, excavation and depositing, shaping and aggregation.
